pg14Izumi's sister: Really! //Why did you say that! //Now they'll feel bad for us. //On top of that, you actually kept that handkerchief!*slam*

pg17[You can't tell what he's thinking and //he doesn't talk. Even if I invite him to play, he won't come. //I want the class to be one, //but he won't cooperate. //He can't read or write, //so during Kanji tests, he always //RUNS AWAY]**This was Wataru speaking*excited yelling*-: What what?-: Wow, look look!-: Who is it?
